Public affairs commentator, Mahdi Shehu has criticised Nigerian politicians for relying on money, deception, and intimidation to secure political power.
Shehu expressed his views in a post on X on Sunday, warning that such tactics have limits and often backfire.
He wrote, “Most politicians in Nigeria misdirect themselves that money can buy them popularity which they know themselves they do not have.”
Shehu added that many of them try to hide their criminal past, but “it is just a matter of time when the cat always comes out of the bag unannounced.”
He warned that those who use violence or threats to gain power may one day face the consequences.
“Those who they threaten today will be their tormentors tomorrow. And tomorrow is just hours away.”
Shehu also mocked their over-confidence, noting that all of them display their open ignorance when and where they all have a blind belief that eating blueberries will turn them blue.
